Giant-Stroke, Superelastic Carbon Nanotube Aerogel Muscles

TL;DR: Carbon nanotube aerogel sheets are the sole component of new artificial muscles that provide giant elongations and elongation rates of 220% and (3.7 × 104)% per second, respectively, at operating temperatures from 80 to 1900 kelvin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural model for dry-drawing of sheets and yarns from carbon nanotube forests.

TL;DR: It is shown that interconnection density is a key parameter that determines the ability of a MWNT forest to be dry-drawable into sheets and yarns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical properties of nanosprings.

TL;DR: Structural properties of nanosprings in the Kirchhoff rod model are investigated and expressions that can be used experimentally to obtain nanospring Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio values are derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of immediate conservative breast surgery reconstruction: a classification system of defects revisited and an algorithm for selecting the appropriate technique.

TL;DR: An algorithm based on breast size in relation to tumor location and extension of resection can be followed to determine the best approach to reconstruction, and the results have demonstrated that the complications were similar to those in other clinical series.
